LucasArts Blasts onto
Store Shelves with the Release of Star Wars Battlefront for the PS2, Xbox and PC
is the expected press release announcing that the new Star Wars action game is
in stores, coinciding with the release of the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD:
"The team-based action within Star Wars Battlefront is set in 16 unique
locations across 10 diverse planets including Hoth, Geonosis and Endor. Players
can select one of the 20 different soldier types from each of the four factions:
Rebel Alliance, Imperial Army, Clone Army and Droid Army. Each soldier has
specialized abilities and the freedom to use ground-based turrets found on the
battlefront as well as over 25 diverse ground and air vehicles including the
AT-ST, X-wing and speeder bike."

Heh, since I've not yet played this game, and I've watched the little movie clips I feel qualified to critique this game.

(That was sarcasm)

Damn fun game. I have played more single player then multiplayer but can honestly say I haven't had this much fun in a few months. I feel as if I have gotten my moneys worth tonight alone.

And do you ever not like any of the star wars games that lucasarts puts out? Still playing force commander i guess?

Very good single player experience with several different modes of play to include multiplayer with bots, which has far better AI then BF1942 and the other clones.

That isn't saying much at all. And the preview articles mentioned that the devs were working particularly hard on the AI which seems to be lacking at best.

Don't believe all the negativity. So many people slam a game without even playing it long enough to learn all the nuances. Seems by the time they open the box and install the damn game they are already disappointed...

How dare you insinuate I don't know what i"m talking about. I read the news boards, I know everything there is to know about this game. (Sarcasm)

One down side is the lag or netcode issue.

For a game designed to be played online that is a pretty big problem to have right out of the door.

Any game that comes out in a me too fashion (BF1942 + Galactic Conquest Battlefront = success) deserves some harsh criticism. There are so many things possible with the Star Wars universe, and as a huge fan myself, I'm not satisfied with half assed attempts to make money at the expense of fans. Spend the time and make an original product that will hold the Star Wars name high... But I guess it does along with the quality of the recent movies.
